Can everclear (95 ethanol) be absorbed through skin/nails? i'm 5 weeks pregnant and used some everclear for a pimple. i got alot of my fingers and wondered if it was a concern to use it externally.

No: The alcohol can penetrate a few skin cell layers but not enough to enter the blood. Only alcohol that enters your blood can make its way to the fetus & interfere with its growth/development.
